Oh please. If they are out in the real world then they are as good as free. Unless you think theyre being watched 24/7? Fat chance. Even crims with those tag things on still go out and commit crime. We all know that.
Liberty? I doubt they know how to spell it let alone give a ***** about it. Or appreciate it. Jamie Bulger is dead...his whole life taken from him after just 2 years. By those two who are now as good as free for their
entire adult life.
I dont buy all this
they were just kids cr*p. Kids that age are well aware of the full horror of what was done to Jamie. Absolutely. The reason we still remember it is because it was such an exceptional case. Which in itself proves that this was not typical behaviour in anyway for kids that age. So how is their age any excuse? It was abnormally horrific, cruel and extreme. Such an exceptional crime deserves an exceptional sentence. That was certainly not given.
That said, Im all for reform. Hopefully theyve had lots of therapy and psychological help. Wouldn't bet on it though. Probably been surrounded by bleeding heart social workers feeding them excuses on a plate.
But they still deserve a basic LONG sentence just as pure punishment. And to give Jamies family and his memory the sense of justice they absolutely deserve. Seems the justice system doesnt give a ***** about that aspect in all this.
If I knew I'd kidnapped, tortured and killed a toddler like they did I would fully understand that I needed to be punished for a very long time. Indeed, I would love somebody to ask them if they think they
deserve to be free after what they did. If they answer yes then the therapy has failed.
